The greatest question: What is the meaning and purpose of life

To be honest, it is something I have pondered upon, searched and discussed a lot. Its a question that a majority of people on the face of the earth, may have asked themselves or others. In moments of desperation you often think that life is be born, grow, reproduce and die, just like all the other billion species around you. Man, is no different. But then, once in a while there comes an enlightened one, who thinks different and acts different.

Oft late, I have come to think the purpose of life is live. Simply put to enjoy life. You can crib all your life, or simply enjoy each day as it comes. In the course of life, to help the less fortunate and care for other human beings. Life is meant to be lived and to not care too much about, not to worry much, though at times it quite impossible not to, its meant find joy in the little things, to be compassionate and to shed a tear when something moves you, you laugh so hard that you actually find it difficult to breathe, to feel pain, to say nothing and know that you are comforting. Its meant to savor each bite, to climb a hill and stand in utter awe.

Coming to finding your purpose in life, I guess its trying to find something that excites you, to do something that makes you think this is what I really love. Now, whether you find that or not is another topic.
